SHOULD THIS MAN REALLY REVEAL ANY MORE IN PUBLIC?
As if more evidence was required to be proffered to the nation that the BJP’s disgraceful show in Karnataka is a daily dive from the pathetic to the ridiculous, the chief minister B.S. Yediyurappa has accused his detractors of employing “black magic” to finish him off politically and physically.
“I am not even sure of returning home after going to the Vidhana Soudha,” the ‘2G Scam’-tained CM has said with a certitude that boggles the mind.
“There is a conspiracy to finish me off, and those who indulged in ‘black magic’ to unseat me from power but failed are indulging in it.” (Yediyurappa? 2G scam?)
As if on cue, the CM’s family priest Bhanuprakash Sharma has said he has advised his client to perform certain rituals to ward off evil. “I have advised him to perform the sahasra chandika yajna at the Chamundeswari Temple in Mysore and laksha modaka Ganapathi homa (offering 1 lakh modaks to Lord Ganesha),” he said.
The honourable chief minister has even decided to bare all for a surya namaskar in a river next week, according to some reports, although that isn’t a sight that will have people queueing up to see.
Yediyurappa has struck the “maata-mantra, threat-to-my-life” pose before; so if nothing else at least he is consistent in his mind-numbing superstition and obscurantism as the head of a supposedly “hi-tech” State.
“I am facing a threat to my life. I am aware of the places where they are performing the (maata-mantra) pujas to finish me off. Many of his opponents have suffered this fate fate in the past, and I could be the latest victim. They will be responsible if anything happens to my life. I will write to the home department complaining against the black magic of H.D. Deve Gowda and his sons. I will also write my will,” were Yediyurappa’s exact words in 2007.
Moreover, even at the height of the last but one round of the “crisis” surrounding his government, there were rumours that the gates of the Vidhana Soudha had been locked up days in advance of the assembly session after the requisite sacrifices had been made on its lawns to help the CM retain power.
But the real issue for the BJP should be the kind of signals its “Gatekeeper to the South” is sending by elevating witchcraft to the level of statecraft, by making it a part of the political and public discourse with such disdain for public taste?
Does a chief minister who has weathered concerted efforts by his colleagues, by his rivals, by his own party high command, and the now the governor to unseat him, really believe that he minister be ejected by a slice of lime, a piece of coconut and a little vermillion?
Does he really expect the people to believe this balderdash, this junk?

However Yeddy should learn to be more discreet and play the politically correct card. Most politicians, businessmen and media folks believe in all this. I even know a Muslim minister of Bangalore who gets some homa done by one of the udupi matas. Even many American businessmen including the non-indian techno entrepreneurs believe in psychics and other such phenomena although in a different cultural setting. Most of these politicians and businessmen are highly successful. These pragmatic people are not fools to believe and do practices that does not work. And no harm in all these homas, yajnas and havans if done through your private money. But what is private money of politicians – their salaries, that’s a separate debate altogether.

It’s really not necessary to defend a fellow Hindu merely because he is a Hindu. In that case we will have to support Umesh Reddy too. He apparently thought raping and killing women is his path for salvation. That was his belief.
However you raise a valid point. Why public money is spent for religious purposes in this so called secular country? Why should a CM or a PM heli-hop and donate crores of rupees from state treasury?
I have no problem with their myriad beliefs which they can very well keep. But don’t keep them at the expense of the public.
My request to Yeddy would be to start spending his own money for his travel and donations to various religious establishments. He has earned in hundreds of crores via governance or lack of it. Also it would be wise and nice for him to keep his counsel about things such as witchcraft to himself.

In India’s history, no other CM or ‘Thief Minister’ in any state of India, irrespective of party, has ever donated such obscene amounts of Govt money to various mutts and temples, conducted so many ‘pujas’, ‘homas’ and ‘havanas’, flown to so many temples in chartered flights or the state Govt Helicopter, gifted so many elephants, sacrificed so many innocent animals including donkeys, and in the process enriched so many astrologers and religious heads!
Makes one wonder if his personal Thantri’s and Jyotisha’s predicted something that will result in the state loosing a few more crore’s towards performing a host of protective poojas and rituals to ward off ‘evil spells’
Perhaps Yeddi is having nightmares of witchcraft after watching live TV, tyrants like Ben Ali and Mubarak vanish into history.
While the ruthless corruption and shameless nepotisms of Yeddi, his sons, cronies in his cabinet and party is well-documented and now proven to all Kannadigas, it is indeed strange that the Cong-I has only been showing crocodile tears (compared to the JD-S), the executive (Center and CBI included) and judicial machinery (including Lokayukta) are sadly, mute spectators.

Becoming a fanatic hindu just because others are fanatics is again the quality of yeddi’s followers. Remember what Yeddy said with regards to his land scam. “Previous CMs also denotified so what if I do” I want to ask Yeddy one question. Previous CMs ate “poo” will you eat it? You can’t defend your theft by saying others are also stealing. If these simple logics and moral values can’t be understood, I just wonder how come these people call themselves as leaders.
“Some of the famous people and buisness men also believe in vamachaara”. I have not come across any body being famous leaders and ‘responsible leaders’ making statements like Yeddy. If you can achieve good and evil things through magic, poojas and vamachara, there is no need for suicide bombers. no need for any science, no need for any wars. and no need for any modern technologies at all.
It’s a tactic played by handful of people to make money, to create irrational fears amongst people and also to misguide people away from progress to future. These type of beliefs are usually held by backward communities of backward countries like India and Africa.
Yeddy is well aware of what he is talking. I think he is using this statement to gain sympathy from large group of people who are uneducated ( excludes literates) and believe in ancient system. He may get critisized by few people like us. But his agenda will be met as long as poor, backward, uneducated, hippocratic, crucked, blunted and senseless people remain our society. I can say with conviction that people who are supporting Yeddy are cheap minded, come from similar backgrounds and caste biased.

That must be because previous CMs everywhere have generally looted Hindu mandirs, which alone are managed by the government. In Karnataka in the rule of the “humble farmer” and the Congress thugs, the revenue of Hindu mandirs was diverted to the maintenance of masjids and churches. Right inside Bangalore we have the Church of South India that occupies leasehold land belonging to the Army, on which it has constructed a commercial building making money hand over fist from rentals. The churches everywhere in India, the Catholic Diocese of Bombay which rents out the Eucharistic Congress building in Colaba or the Church of S. India in Chennai, as well as every masjid in India that rents out vast commercial properties, are making truckloads of loot. But churumuris “progressive” mavens all of a sudden suffer an attack of anterograde amnesia when confronted by these facts. Listen guys, after a decade of maladministration we have for the first time a progressive CM who is sprucing up Bangalore and the rest of the state. If the BJP loses power next time and the Congress returns, investment will flee the state and head to the new sunrise beacon of India – Gujarat – which at its current rate threatens to eclipse Maharashtra (Mundra port will overtake Bombay Port and JNPT in a couple of years) and begin to capture a 25% share of india’s GDP.

2. Why is my money being spent on donating crores to temples of all kinds?
3. More than his beliefs, it reflects on BSY’s administration skills. If he has clues/hints/ that somebody is trying to kill, him, why does he not file an FIR and get those people behind bars? Why moan and whine in public? You are the CM for god’s sake, you have the power to act – so please act.
4. BJP low command will tolerate even this – because they are scared of the lingayat vote bank – who are completely and solidly backing BSY.
5. BJP low command Gadkari has said BSY has done immoral acts. So why are they not asking him to step down ?

Yes of course sajjan and tytler were given tickets in 2004. yes of course chavan and kalamadi are not sacked from congress.
But at least they have demonstrated that they are willing to act against tainted people, by taking firm steps of sacking people and jailing them and denying tickets in 2009, and refusing to tie up with tainted JMM.
BJP does not do even that. Its lust for power is so deep that it even sacrificed Ram temple to sit for six years in power.
it compromised on dynastic politics, (BSY’s son is an MP)
it compromised on single family rule ( a la Shiv Sena),
It compromised on everything it believed in to sup with 24 different parties with divergent viewpoints – and here you are talking about one DMK writing a poem. Talking about poems, the then PM of NDA was good at writing poems too – that was his single biggest contribution.

Here’s an example of current Congress high command’s commitment to freedom of speech.
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Gehlot-asks-Rajasthan-minister-to-quit-over-his-remarks-on-President-Patil/articleshow/7460045.cms
Rajasthan chief minister Ashok Gehlot is asked to fire a minister for SAYING something (regardless of the truth of falsity of what was said) because what the minister said was perceived to show the Congress high command in poor light.
It seems that Congress high command means mooh mein democracy aur bagal mein autocracy!

DailyBread,
I think you need to seriously shed this ‘agenda’ glasses and the perceived persecution complex.
Let me make it very clear here that I have no agenda against any religion least of all about my religion ie Hinduism. But that doesn’t mean I will defend any Hindu just for the sake of h/she being a Hindu. How one can equate both? I haven’t understood so far. Many have come and many have gone in the last few millenia but yet the Hindu religion has survived. We really don’t need to defend the wrong-doers in the name of religion.
>And that point(agenda) when deciphered reads like this : Hindus influenced/inspired by their religion are indulging in immoral activities and other Hindus again influenced/inspired by their religion are defending these activities.
Did I say that?! Did I mean it as you seem to do my mind-reading? Answer to both is a plain and honest NO.
Please understand my point. I have never said the immoral people have taken inspiration or influenced by Hinduism. But I would emphatically say many of them are taking refuge behind that. And many more are defending them merely because they are our co-religionists. Is that the way of defending Dharma? If so then I will have to really re-learn all that I have understood about Hinduism.
You keep harping back to my comments on Umesh Reddy. You may please go back and check the thread and my next reply to Shankar. I had made it clear to him that I was not serious in equating Umesh Reddy and Yeddy’s case. It was a provocative statement but certainly not an ‘agenda’ driven statement as you seem to discern in everyone that doesn’t conform to your views.
You would do well to get out of the dreamy world fueled by conspiracy theories.

It is a free world. Media has been going hammer and tongs against Congress for the past six months -they have all the freedom to rake up muck and write crap about Congress – and there has NOT BEEN a single witchhunt against media – as opposed to what BJP did do Tehelka.
BJP hounded Tehelka for years , it was a grevious assault on the freedom of press.
Mounaprasad -..Lust for power made BJP sit in the chair – without doing a fig for Kashmir or Kasmhiri pundits – because at that time, BJP was under the mercy of Farooq Abdullah’s party – which was supporting NDA
BJP made sure that Advani stepped down merely because he spoke about Jinnah. Jaswanth Singh was thrown out because he defied BJP high command. So did Uma Bharti jee. So did Kalyan Singh.
That is the freedom of speech in BJP level.

Excuse me Sir, you don’t know about my loyalty. I am the biggest supporter of politicians (not political parties) who can increase the prosperity levels in this country. Without looking at the religion of the boat, a rising tide lifts all boats. Rest all is bunkum……
I am not a dreamy eyed ideologue, I have voted for candidates belonging to 2 different parties & an Independent in last 3 elections.
I admire Simple Sir, he never tries (unless he is provoked) to drag religion into discussions.

Gaby is as usual wrong. She says my alleged bhakti to gandhi family will not allow me to comment on Gehlot controversies.
I want to ask Gaby to show me a single self respecting party which allows its members to shoot their mouth off against their leadership and yet manage to stay in the party.
Was Uma Bharati allowed to stay?

I said neither of those things. All I said is that (any) religion is no guarantee for good behaviour.
Personal beliefs apart, Yeddi owes more to his position than sounding like a village witch-doctor. If the head of state runs and hides in the skirts of his religious mentors and indulges in an orgy of rituals then he is ratifying the mentality that one need not be held responsible for deliberate wrongs.
A much better defence would have been to face the accusations head on and prove them wrong through legal recourse. That would have had the invaluable perk of validating the letter of the law in the eyes of the people. And also become a potent weapon against one’s enemies in the future.
You can blame bad luck only so much.
Missing the wood for the trees you are. Do you purposely misunderstand the import of my words?
As to the party which can “rise the prosperity levels of our country”, none such exists.
@Nastika – good one.

Only a Congress member can be loyal. I am not a member hence I can openly criticize Congress for delayed action against Raja, for misusing governors, for not arresting Kalmadi, for not sacking aged members in the cabinet, for naming every scheme after Rajeev and Indira.
Since I am am a dispassionate, objective political observor,Ican only point out how Congress is better than BJP.
There is a foolish misconception that I am loyal to Congress. How can i be loyal and openly criticize Congress?
What gets my goat, is the refusal of the Cheddi fan club on Churumuri to criticize BJP.
